Light fruity Gamay red wine.
The wine
South of Burgundy, between Mâcon and Lyon, Beaujolais turns gamay into an art of its own. Pink granite and crystalline sand soils, unique in France at this scale, turn a usually light grape into structured, expressive wines. Beyond the Beaujolais Nouveau (celebrated on the third Thursday of November), the appellation reveals its depth through ten crus: Brouilly, Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Régnié, Côte de Brouilly, Chiroubles. Northern crus can age ten to twenty years. Always juicy, aromas range from crunchy red fruit to ripe cherry, spice and sometimes rose. Pair with Lyonnais charcuterie, coq au vin, poultry and pressed cheeses.
